Yes it is a weak bond because the force of attraction is weak.

Are hydrogen bonds formed between any molecules that contain hydrogen?
NO! the requirement is for hydrogen to be bonded to a very electronegative atom such as oxygen or fluorine. Alkanes, e.g. C2H6, contain C-H bonds and there are no hydrogen bonds.
Where would you find hydrogen bonds proteins?
The most common bond in hydrogen is a compound one.
Why do covalent bonds have a particular length?
covaleny bonds have a particular lengh bcz thy are formed by sharing of electrons and do not change wuth change in boiling point
Why is hydrogen bonding only possible with hydrogen?
hydrogen's nucleus is electron deficient when it bonds with an electronegative atoms
How are ionic and covalent bonds different from hydrogen bonds?
Ionic and covalent bonds are both chemical bonds formed by either sharing or transferring electrons. Hydrogen bonds are technically not a kind of chemical bond but a kind of intermolecular attraction between polar molecules in which hydrogen is bonded to one of the very electronegative elements nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.
Why are hydrogen bonds stronger?
least electronegative hydrogen and most electronegative F O N CL Br JOIN TOGETHER AND form a strong bond
The attraction of water particles to each other?
Strong hydrogen bonds as the Oxygen is really electronegative and the hydrogen is really unelectronegative. The hydrogen bonds to the oxygen of another molecule.
What are hydrogen bond?
extra strong intermolecular attractions between polar molecules -apex
Is c5h10 hydrogen bond?
No. In order for hydrogen bonds to form, hydrogen must be bonded to a highly electronegative element such as oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine. In this molecule it is only bonded to carbon, which is not electronegative enough.
What is the comparison between a hydrogen and covalent bond?
Covalent bonds are generally irreversible once formed. They occur when two atoms share a pair of electrons between them. Hydrogen bonds aren't really 'bonds' but are more interactions. Of the two atoms involved in hydrogen bonding, one is highly electronegative (such as oxygen or nitrogen) which is called the Hydrogen Bond Acceptor, and the other is a hydrogen atom attached to an electronegative atom (-OH, -NH2, -SH). This hydrogen is the Hydrogen Bond Donor. This hydrogen is very positive due to being bonded to a electronegative atom. The large different in partial charges between the hydrogen bond donor and the hydrogen bond acceptor leads to them interaction by weak electrostatic attraction.
If carbon which has an electronegative of 2.5 bonds with hydrogen which has an electronegative of 2.1 the bond between the two atoms will be classified as an covalent bond?
nonpolar
Do hydrogen bonds always involve hydrogen?
As far as I know: yes! They involve hydrogen bonded to an electronegative element (like oxygen). This Hydrogen in the molecule is then attracted to another electronegative element (like oxygen, nitrogen etc)
